THE PATENT EAC 



[ ; ' : ..•_•■ ;i ' -, J :;,; ; i:i L..': :'■ 



By L F. STOCKWr 



Said Grallileo at theit^oor of the Court of the Inqui- 
sition. "The world still moves." The great highway 
of progress is thronged by thousands whose busy minds 
are ever alive to the wants and requirements of the age. 
Improvement is the order of the day, and necessity, 
the mother of invention. Thus it ever will be that 
those who labor for the benefit of mankind, ^vill devel- 
ope new ideas and new methods for supplying their 
wants. Labor saving machinery • has taken the place 
of the time honored customs of our fathers ; thus doing 
atvay with much of the drudgery of former times. 

Many processes are before the public in order that 
our domestic animals together with the trophies of the 
hunt and chase may furnish such clothing at a very tri- 
fling expense. But progress marks the hour and as 
the cycling year rolls round, something of beauty, some- 
thing of undoubted utility presents itself to an admir- 
ing and astonished world. 

Now to the front comes this : 

PATENT EAGLE TAMING PROCESS. 

In presenting this Process to the public, the author 
would impress upon the minds of his patrons the neces- 
sity of implicitly following the directions given in this 
pamphlet, as they are the result of long , experience in 



the art of tanning. Much of the process is of great 
simplicity. Even a child can understand its applica- 
tion. Through its simplicity, it commends itself to all 
for practical use. 

The author's long and varied experience in the wilds 
of the Rocky Mountains, California and Oregon, among 
the pioneer trappers of the Great West-, in the Wig- 
wams of the red men, together with his extended 
knowledge of the most approved and scientific processes 
of tanning, has enabled him to compile this treatise with 
a view to the immediate wants of the people. 

Modern science has not disclosed such gratifying re- 
sults in any other way than by following the directions 
of the Patent Eagle Tanning Process. 

We challenge the world to produce as firm leather 
combined with such strength and durability ; or such 
a tine gloss on hair or fur — equal almost in every re- 
spect to that upon the live animal. 

Let it be understood that here you have a process 
that meets the wants of the farmer, hunter and the 
trapper. 

By this process, farmers are enabled to dress their 
sheep skins suitable for robes, mittens, etc., and also 
for coloring them : together with full directions for 
dressing furs in the neatest and most expeditious man- 
ner at a trifling expense, with the best method of dye- 
ing or coloring furs of all kinds ; and for dressing Deer 
skins in the most approved style, with colors for the 
same from bright buff to tan or jet black. Also for 
dressing Black and Grizily Bear, Buffalo skins, etc., 
etc , etc. Also a recipe for making the patent water- 
proof stuffing for leather, boots, shoes and harness, to- 
gether with the best recipes for enticing all fur and 
other wild animals into traps.

BIRKGTIOMS 

FOR 13SING THE PATENT 

EAGLE TANNING PROCESS, 

PATENTED JANUARY 1, 1869. 
By A. F.STOCKWELL, Oraro. His. 



First principles in tanning, as in everything else, are 
the most important to be understood and applied. Pre- 
paring the hide for tanning must be done thoroughly or 
the result will not be satisfactory. The tirst to be done 
is Soaking, Fhskiwij and Chansiiiy* 




SOAKING. 

Prepare the following mixture : 

6 gallons Soft Water, } lb Starch, ^ prepared as for 
\ lb Sal Soda, I pint Salt, [starching.). 

| pint old Soft Soap, "l gill Sulphuric Acid. 

Green hides must be immersed from 12 to 24 hours,, 
dry hides from 2 to 6 days, or until all spots are soft- 
ened. 

This soaking will set the fur or hair on all tainted 
hides. 

All flesh and grease must be removed before tying 
too Ions in the soak. 



-PATENT E 



FLESHING. 

Blake a flcshinir beam of a smoothe slab seven feet 
loug a lid about 15 inches wide, put two legs about 2 
feet from one end, the other end resting on the ground, 
the round side up. Lay the hide — when partially 
soaked — on the Blab, flesh side up; take a fleshing 
knife — a piece of scythe or an old musket bayonet or 
the back of a . knife with the cor und 

shar i one — and scrape down the hide un- 

til the v • h is removed. Flesh doe's not make Ieathi 
therefore care must be taken to remove all. 

CLEANSING FROM GREA 
All is, such as Dog 1 , Wolf. Black and 

Grizi 

■tch the hide in a frame 
settii firmly in the ground with a cross piece 

top and bottom. Cut small holes in the edge 
of the hide through which r t cord and round 

pegs ome- 

what after the fashion of a drumhead. Take a round 
pointed shovel and scrape h side, 

thus easily remove) n the hide to 

I it becoi reen hide, wring 

from the soak, sleek or beam out the over the 

fleshing beam, wlieu the hide is readj for the

Place the hides in this liquor, handling thoroughly. 
The ofener they are aired the better. 

Light hides are tanned in 24 hours; heavy ones in 
from 2 to 4 days. 



—TANNING PROCESS- 






TEST OF THE TANNING LIQUOR 

When right it. h;i:- a vei at taste ; stron- 

ger tli

When the liquor becomes reduced much • 
test, remove the hides from the vat, nod add feVmerjted 
bran liquor, salt nnd acid as be icient to increase 

its strength to the origi • trd. 

When tanned sufficiently, the hides are ready for 

FIN] 

Qg from the Tan Liquor and rinse ifl c 
then -wash the fur, hair, or wool clean in p suds 

with J lb Sal Soda to 5 gallons of water! Itub the 
hides on a wash-board, pound in a barrel i 
washing machine. The water should be as hot as the 

will bear. When washed sufficiently, be- 
all the water and Jiang out to dry in a shady place. The 
slower they, dry the better for the leather. When drv 
enough to whiten, pull light hides until whitened ; 
heavier ones may be placed on the . beam flesh 

Use the fleshing knife with one dull 
pushing stoutly in all directions. When whitened, ap- 
ply to the flesh side a thorough coating of the King of 
Leather Oil composed, as follows: 2 pints of either 
Sperm, Olive, Neat : foot Oil or fresh butler, 1 pint lu- 
bricating oil, 1 gill alcohol, a teaspoouful of concentrated 
lye dissolved, the yolk of 6 eggs well beaten. Jiang 
in the shade until nearly dry, then repeat the stretching 



—PATENT EAGLE— 

or whitening process. When ! >o dry, dampen by roll- 
ing in a wet cloth or in any other way. When the 
stretching is done, rover the hide with wheat bran un- 
til all moisture is removed. Smooth with saad paper, 
and scour the far or hair by taking wheat bran and fine 
sharp sand, equal pans; dry the sand and scorch the 
bran, then rub the fur or hair with it very hot with a 
stiff brush. This operation will remove all grease and 
enliven the fur or hair. Even old i'urs may be reno- 
vated in this way. 

The above is the simplest way for those tanning but 
few hides; but for extensive operations, instead of the 
last stretching over the beam, the hides may be broken 
in a wheel, made of boards, ten feet in diameter and 
two feet wide with pegs on the inside of the rim. Put 
in the hides, turn slowly so that the hides will drop on 
the pegs. When thoroughly broken, the fur or hair 
may be scoured by putting fine sand and plaster of Paris 
in the wheel and turning as before. Hides should be 
put in the wheel damp and kept in until dry. 

Take from the wheel and finish on an emory cylinder 
made of a log a foot in diameter and a foot long, larger 
in the middle than at the ends, on which put a coat of 
glue and a coating of fine sharp sand. Hold the hide 
on this cylinder in motion until the flesh side is nicely 
smoothed. 

MUSKRAT SKINS. 

These skins are very peculiar. The flesh being very 
tough, holds to the hide with exceeding tenacity, ren- 
dering them the most difficult of any to tan. 

The following is a very good method : Take equal 
parts of Alum. Salt, Salt Peter, and blue Vitriol. Pul- 
verize and wet with water to the consistency of cream. 
Spread on flesh side, roll up and lay away for 24 hours 
then wash and finish as for light hides. 

.Another. — Soak very soft, then immerse in the tan 
liquor for light hides from 12 to 24 hours; this toughens 
the hide. Plesh and place in tan liquor for light hides 
24 hours. Wash and finish as light hides. 



—TANNING BROCESS.- 



MILK TAN. 



A very quick and cheap tan for furs and light hides 
is had by using the following directions: 

1 quart Milk, 1 ounce Sulphuric Acid. 

Handle them all the time for fifty minutes, and work 
while drying. 

TAN LIQUOR FOR LIGHT HIDES. 

(By light hides all Furs, and Buck and Sheep skins are in- 
cluded.) 

1 lb Salt, 4 qts Soft Water,. £ lb Sulphuric Acid, 
\ lb Starch, prepared as for starching clothes. 

Handle the hides often and air them, and when suffi- 
ciently tanned, rinse in cold water, and then wash clean 
in warm soap suds made of bar soap, sleek out and hang 
in shade to dry. When nearly dry apply the King of 
Leather Oil to flesh side and finish according to direc- 
tions heretofore given. 

FOR WOOLING SHEEP SKINS. 




Wash and thoroughly cleanse the wool, lay them on 
slats in a tight room and steam them for twenty-four 
hours, or until the wool slips off easily, leaving' the 
pelt in good condition for tanning. Flesh them by the 
usual process and lay them in the tan. The steam 
does not injure the hides in the least. 

To prepare 

ELK AND DEER SKINS FOR GRAINING. 

In the first place they must be subjected to the 

HAIRING PROCESS 
Composed of 



10 —PATENT EAGLE— 

8 qts Hard- wood Asbcs, G qts Air-slaked Lime, 
Mixed with 8 Galls, cold Soft \Y. 

They should remain in this mixture until the hair 
or wool slips off easily, which will require troni 1 to 6 
days, owing in a great measure to the temperature of 
the weather. The cooler the weather the longer the 
time required to loosen the hair or wool. Scrape the 
wool or hair off over the fleshing beam. Or, the hair 
or wool may he removed by the process beretofor 
tioned. •The hide is now ready for 




BATING ; 
Which is done in order to remove the alkali ai 
duce the hides. (The alkali, if not taken out, \ 
injute the leather.) 

•an or 1 peck of Oat Meal fermented, or 1 
lb Starch, £lb Sulphuric Acid, mixed with 8 galls 
warm Soft V.'ntcr. 
Let them remain in the bate, handling and 
and working them at least twice a day over the fleshing 
beam until they are reduced nearly to their original 
thickness and perfectly soft as when green, requiring 
as a general thing, from two to four days, depending 
much on the temperature of the weather. All light 
hides used for Gloves and Mittens, such as Calf, Deer, 
Deacon, and Sheep skins, should be raised again before 
tanning by immersion in a solution of Sal Soda, as fol- 
lows : • 

2 ounces Sal Soda, - 4 qts Soft Water. 
They are now supposed to be properly haired, grained, 
and raised, ready for immersion in the Tanning Liquor 
heretofore described. Handle as therein directed and 
the result will be satisfactory.

side and sleek with a stone sleek until every wrinkle is 
removed; then throw on water and finish scouring by 
applying brush and iron sleek, sleeking out the water 
as dry ae- possible, then hang in shade to dry. When 
half dry apply the glove leather liquor, or King of 
Leather Oil, on the grain side; when half in, apply the

Melt together over a slow fire and apply to flesh side 
with sponge or brush. For books and harness, add 
lampblack. 

This is warranted, after two or three applications, to 
render any heavy leather impervious to water. It will 
finish cult skins superbly, fur either gloves, boots or 
shoes; only for glove*, it should be worked into the 
leather thoroughly.

GRAIN BLACKING. 



Put in a vessel of iron, 1 gallon soft Water, 2 ozs 
Sulphuric Acid and a quantity old iron, add 4 bzs Ex- 
tract Logwood dissolved ov$r a slow fire, cover tight, 
the longer it stands the better. When wanted for use. 
take sufficient aqua forth to dissolve immediately 4 ozs 
Copperas and 2 ozs Extract Logwood put in a deep stone 
jar, in an open room, immediately cover tight. When 
dissolved add to it 2 qts of the liquor from the old iron. 

Moisten the grain with warm sal soda water applied 
with a stiff brush; apply the blacking with a brush ; 
when nearly dry, set the black side down smooth with 
stone sleek. Remove the stuffing from flesh side with 
iron sleek, clean the black side with woolen cloths, then 
stuff with warm tallow, and hang up to dry. When dry 
sleek the tallow from the black side and finish by 
working with woolen cloths with energy. Apply sal 
soda enough to remove oil from outside. 

FLESH SIDE BLACKING. 
2 qts Tanner's Oil, I paper Lampblack well stirred 
together, add £ pint Japonica liquor; apply with a stiff 
brush; when dry, clean with a woolen cloth ; then ap- 
ply with A.soSt brush a paste made of 

3 pts boiling rain Water. 1 oz bar Soap, 
£ pt thickening made of fine tlour and water well stirred: 
Let boil a few minutes. When cool stir in 2 ounces 
Tragacanth, melted. When dried in, sleek black side 
with glass sleek. Apply another coat of \ paste \ gum

gle Patent Tanning Process withouthaving first obtained

Nature of the Ingredients Used in the Patent Eagle Tan- 
ning Process. 

The Ingredients are all chosen with direct reference 
to their entire fitness : and each one, when used as 
directed, aids in giving durability to the leather. 

Ashes — Contain alkali, which strengthens and pre- 
serves leather. 

Alum — Sets the tan and brightens the color of the 
leather, and, in connection with other ingredients, 
renders it impervious to water. 

Borax — Softens the water and whitens the leather. 

Copperas — Darkens and sets vegetable colors. 

Gum Tragacanth — Is a vegetable gum : acts as a 
preservative ; is not easily dissolved ; is used as a pol- 
ish ; it brightens the color in leather, as a varnish does 
in wood, and is the most lasting of gums. 
• Lime — Raises the hide and loosens the hair, and 
has a tendency to harden the leather ; it should always 
1)0 used with hard wood ashes. This combination of 
lime, ashes and water acts most beneficially in the proc- 
ess of manufacturing leather — for while the tan is rais- 
ing the hide the ashes toughens it and softens the wa- 
ter. Concentrated lye answers the same purpose as 
ashes, but cannot be used quite as safely by inexperi- 
enced hands. 

Lampblack — Is a well known coloring substance : 
will not unite with water, hence the fitness of its use 
upon leather. 

Beeswax — Acts as a preservative of leather, by re- 
taining the oils, &c. 

Flour Paste — Combined with beeswax holds the 
oil into the leather. 

Salt — Is cooling and cleansing ; mixed with acid, 
both become chemically changed ; the salt becomes 
salts, and absorbs the acid, destroying its fiery nature; 
it also aids in setting the hair and fur. 



—TANNING PROCESS.— 17 

Siir.i'Hi itic Acid — Is cleansing and searching, and 
is of such a powerful nature as to destroy most sub- 
stances with which it comes in contact; hence it is 
never applied directly to the hides, &c.; it also gives 
gloss to furs and hair. 

Soft Soap — Softens, cleanses, strengthens and as- 
sists in raising the hide to prepare for tanning. 

Saltpeter — Softens and penetrates the leather, is 
cooling in its nature, and tends to assist other ingredi- 
ents in hastening the process. 

Starch or Oat Meal — Are softening in their ef- 
fects upon the liquors and hides ; also act as a poultice 
to extract the gelatine, and is a tan in a mild form. 

Beef Tallow — Is combined with the oils to give 
body to them, itself being of their nature. 

Terra Japonica — A powerful stringent, and a per- 
manent coloring dye. 

Milk — With other ingredients, when added to sul- 
phuric acid, changes the fiery nature of the acid and 
makes a rapid tan. 

Oak Sawdust— Contains a softening tan and pro- 
duces good leather, but is improved by its combination 
with other articles. 

Tanner's Oil — Not only softens but gives a perma- 
nent flexibility to leather and is a mild tan. 

Pine Pitch — Prevents water from entering the 
pores of the leather, and retains the oil. 



How to Make a Good Blacking: or Leather Preservative 

For harness boots and shoes : First clean by apply- 
ing with a stiff brush boiling zeig to the harness, scrub 
well. When half dry, sponge on to it the following 
preparation : To 2 qts Tanner's oil add £ pt boiled 
Linseed oil, and l#gill best Kerosene oil, and £ oz cam- 
phor gum ; dissolve in alcohol and add 3 heaping table- 
spoonfuls best lampblack, stir well, and fill the leather 
well. When dry, sponge on a thin coat Gum Traga- 
eanth melted to a paste in water over a slow fire.
